I like that the photo this article uses to demonstrate "unprecedented police presence" is two BLM Ranger trucks pulled up next to some guy in the back of an El Camino, and everyone seems to be chatting casually.

Wow that was incredible. I've been going to many festivals around the world for a long time but I finally manned up to the task of burning man (which is quite a task coming from Canada) this year and wow, was I blown away. The amount of effort, creativity, and generosity that goes into making that place happen is truly inspiring.

And then there's the DJs, stages, lights, sound systems (I think I counted 6 camps with Funktion One this year), crowd, and more free booze than you can stomach.

The only thing I was kind of disappointed with this year was the crowd at Robot Heart. The stage is incredible and the line up was nuts but the people there just aren't very fun to party with. I guess it's just gotten too popular. So many of them don't even dance. They just smoke cigarettes (the only place I saw people doing this on the dancefloor, where it's looked down upon) and try to act cool. It's like the L.A. VIP-wannabe crowd there or something.

Yea people go way out for the mutant vehicles. Any thoughts of going D? We should get a bunch of us to go and have our own little camp. Strength in numbers...Most here are too pussy to go. Waaa I won't camp at Coachella because I need a pool ... cr****

I definitely plan on doing it at some point. Might have to wait another year though depending on my school schedule.

Re: Burning Man 2013

There's something very gratifying about seeing all the desperate attempts by hipsters to paint all burners with same "hypocrite" or "tech exec" or whatever other brush without the first little glint of irony.

Love all flaunted CL posts from a douchebag who can't figure out what to wear, or ads for pre-made camp/tour packages, cherry picked examples of people spending too much money to "conform". Love it all.

The pitiful truth is those people are infinitely more fun to party with than the angry hipster taking the time to complain about BM. Their complaints backfire in that they only persuade people who probably wouldn't be much fun out there anyway.

If only those people they're clowning weren't actually a very tiny portion of the actual BM population. Probably could be even more fun if those folks threw more money at us.
